The company was publicly traded first in 1986 on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "CXV". In 1987, Cavalier acquired operating plants in the Carolinas and Georgia, owned by Brigadier Homes, Inc. A few years later, it expanded a production facility in Hamilton, Alabama. An additional facility was built in Addison. 1994 saw expansion into Fort Worth, Texas, and on December 4 of the same year, the Company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CAV". In 1997, the company acquired Belmont Homes, Inc and its subsidiaries in MS, AR, and GA. In 2002, the company consolidated its manufacturing operations by creating Cavalier Home Builders, LLC.

Modular Homes Construction The systems built housing idea is not new. Sears Roebuck offered a prefabricated modern home in their spring 1908 general catalog, which was shipped by train. Sears sold around 100000 of these homes from 1908 to 1939. The use of production line techniques really kicked into high gear after World War II and made a sizable contribution to reducing the housing shortage at that time.
Systems Built Construction Sheetrock is often glued and screwed to wall studs and triple headers are used over window openings and around stairwells to withstand the stresses of transportation and being lifted by a crane.
Oklahoma Factory Built Home A manufactured home is built entirely in the factory under a federal building code administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development HUD and is classified as a Manufactured Home. These homes are constructed to meet the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act, which has been in effect since June 15, 1976. The Federal standards regulate, manufactured housing design, construction, strength, durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency and quality. The HUD Code also sets performance standards for the heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems.
